One of the neat things about attending journalism school (an oxymoron of a phrase to many, I’m sure) is that you learn things you might not otherwise come to know about how people consume news. One behavior I’ve found particularly fascinating is the pattern of so-called “news routines” that many of us, in one way or another, have built into our lives.
For some people, these routines could manifest in the form of scanning through the daily newspaper at lunch or turning on the nightly news just before bed. I, for one, wake up every morning and check out the latest from some of my favorite news sites, one of which happens to be ESPN.
